"The battle is over." After seeing Chi Bei's arrival, Takeda Shingen was not overjoyed, but shook his head with some regret, "Yuqiu Hongye has tried his best. When your strategy is completely defeated, your fate is already doomed.
.It is not easy to be able to do this tactically."
"The battle is over." After seeing Chi Bei arrive, Yu Qiuping's mood became inexplicably lighter. Before, he had been worried, hoping that Chi Bei would not arrive in time. Now that hope was shattered, the battle situation in front of him was no longer possible.
After cleaning up, he felt relaxed.
The smoke that ignited from the main camp, the raging fire that followed, and Takeda Chibei who appeared from the rear had already explained to the two armies on the battlefield what had happened - the Yuqiu Army's camp no longer existed.
, 8,000 auxiliary troops were defeated, and all the baggage was burned. And now, their retreat was also cut off by Takeda Chibei. Soon, the Chibei team will attack the weak back of the Yuqiu army's front and wipe out the entire army.
destroy.
The Takeda Army on all fronts cheered excitedly to celebrate this hard-won victory. On the other hand, the Yuqiu Army felt like they were mourning their wives, and despair spread among the troops. The collapse of the entire Yuqiu Army was imminent.
·
"Your Highness, do you really want to go?" Long Zi looked at Yu Qiuping, who was getting on his horse, and urged him with some reluctance, "You should retreat quickly. Evacuate through the mountain road and take the young master with you. It's still too late!"
"I withdraw, what will happen to the whole army?" Yuqiu's face was ashen, but he shook his head with great determination, "Everyone has been fighting hard to make up for my mistakes. So many people, so many soldiers are fighting for the Yuqiu family.
If I am dead, how can I abandon the army and flee, and how can I live an ignoble existence? If everyone has failed me, how can I fail everyone?"
"There is only one thing I can do now." Yu Qiuping slowly pulled the Chidori out of the scabbard, listening to the chirping sound of the metal collision when the Chidori was unsheathed. Then he used the Chidori to straighten
The ground pointed in the direction of Takeda Chibei, "Destroy Chibei, and the whole army will be saved."
Yes, this is the only thing he can do.
If he doesn't defeat Chi Bei, then Chi Bei can go directly south and cooperate with Naito Masatoyo to first defeat Omaezaki Nakahide's Hosoragi Bei from the front and back. Then he will go all the way west and sweep through the entire defense line of Yu Qiu's family.
Completely defeat the Yuqiu family.
The Takeda Army has thousands of cavalry. If the Amaki Army collapses here, few people will be able to escape the pursuit alive. Thousands of samurai and ashigaru including the Amaki Army will all be buried here. This is a complete battle of annihilation.
, enough to directly break the backbone of the Yuqiu family and make the Yuqiu family disappear from history.
The only thing that can change the situation is to use Yu Qiuping's 400 cavalry to defeat the 600 red troops, thereby ensuring the safety of the rear. Even so, because the auxiliary troops were dispersed and all the baggage was burned, Yu Qiu's army was already defeated.
It was just to prevent the entire army from being wiped out today. Yu Qiuping had no idea what to do next.
"Your Highness, wake up!" Maeda Keiji, who had been persuaded by Yu Qiuping to wake up, now began to persuade Yu Qiuping, "We have 400 cavalry, hedging on the flat ground, there are simply not enough 600 red troops to fill our teeth.
! Even if there are 2,000 cavalry of our level, they can't defeat 600 red soldiers! They have been fighting for so many years, and the number of cavalry confrontations ranges from dozens to hundreds. Even the fierce Echigo cavalry
The team can’t defeat them, let alone us?”
"I will never abandon the army and abscond. You don't need to persuade me anymore." Yu Qiuping shook his head resolutely, "You all know what kind of person I am. I will not betray my subordinates. They
For my sake, I risk my life and fight against the invincible enemy, and I will also fight Takeda Akabi myself for them."
"Zijing, after I lead the cavalry company on the expedition, this formation will be handed over to you." Yu Qiuping turned around slightly and followed behind him, his eyes filled with tears.
The Red Water Atom Scripture ordered, "If I lose, you will issue the final order and let everyone escape. If it doesn't work, surrender."
"I will never surrender! I will swear allegiance to the Yu Qiu family to the death!" Upon hearing this, Shui Yuanjing burst into tears. He saluted Yu Qiuping with a military salute and shouted sternly: "I swear to protect the young master and leave safely.
Let’s hope that one day we can revive the Yuqiu family!”
"Okay, Hao Zi Jing." A strange smile appeared at the corner of Yu Qiuping's mouth, then he reined in the horse's reins, turned the horse's head, and glanced at the 400 cavalry behind him who were ready to go and looked at death as if they were home; he glanced at the serious faces of Aneshan Nobuyoshi and Xiaobata.
Jie Sheng, Maeda Keiji; he watched the performance again. Honda Tadakatsu, who always had a calm face, and Ryuko, who had tears in his eyes, followed him. He raised the Chidori in his hand and clamped it into the horse's belly.
They jumped out of the line. The cavalry company behind them immediately set off on horseback, followed Yu Qiuping across the bridge of the Nishi Kanda River, and headed straight for Chibe heading south.
·
Yu Qiuping led his guards and four hundred cavalrymen, galloping on the plain between the Nishi Kanda River and Banzhu Mountain, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground, feeling the dust flying behind him. Behind him was the setting sun, which was slowly falling.
The shadows of the crowd were very long. In front of them were the invincible red cavalry, like red ghosts from hell. The evening breeze blew, and Yu Qiuping suddenly felt an epic romantic feeling, which made people fall in love.
Time forgot about the coming killing.
But as Chi Bei headed south, he noticed the charging cavalry with red leaves on their heads and began to turn slowly. The slightest feeling of comfort that had just surged in Yu Qiuping's heart suddenly disappeared. That slow turn,
Facing the red cavalry who gradually began to speed up towards him, he was like a beast in the forest. Weak animals cautiously moved past it, but when the beast suddenly turned back and glanced at itself, the weak would be frightened.
He broke out in a cold sweat. Yu Qiuping's hand holding the handle of the Chidori twitched spasmodically. The cold touch of the Chidori spread from the palm of his hand all the way through his body, making Yu Qiuping feel like his whole body was frozen.
As the horses of the two armies increased faster and faster, a head-on confrontation was inevitable. Yu Qiuping no longer knew how long it had been since he had experienced such a life-and-death confrontation, and the tension in his body was almost uncontrollable. His opponent
, is the strongest cavalry team in the world, and has never been defeated in a cavalry confrontation. However, his subordinates are very lacking in actual combat experience, and are not even opponents of Yamato's second-rate cavalry. And the number of opponents is half as many as his own.
This is an upright cavalry confrontation. There are no special tactics or terrain. It is just a direct duel between two cavalry on the plain.
"I closed my eyes as soon as I jumped into the river." Yu Qiuping took a deep breath, knowing that even if he wanted to regret it at this moment, it was too late. Reducing the horse's speed would be equivalent to committing suicide. Thinking of this, the fear and tension in his chest seemed to gradually disappear. Instead, every
The blood in a man's heart, the excitement inherited from his ancient ancestors, surges during a life-and-death fight.
"Disperse and prepare to hedge!" Yu Qiuping raised the Chidori in his hand and gave a stern order to the entire army. At the same time, a few hundred meters in front of him, another voice with vicissitudes of life and majesty came.
The same order was given. Both the Red Leaf Cavalry and the Red Bei Cavalry slowly expanded to both sides, each forming several rows of loose formations, opening up a wide space.
Will he die? I don’t know, and it doesn’t matter.
Just when Yu Qiuping was preparing to charge calmly and face the life-and-death fight that was about to come in a blink of an eye, a clear whimpering sound suddenly came from his ears. Yu Qiuping listened carefully and recognized Long Zi's voice.
"Your Highness, promise me, you must survive! If you die, Long Zi really doesn't know how to live! You must live well. Only if you are alive, Long Zi's life will be meaningful."
Since the distance was quite far, Long Zi had to shout to get these words to Yu Qiuping's ears. Yu Qiuping turned his head and looked at Long Zi with tears in his eyes.
, she was running beside him. Yu Qiuping suddenly felt a little throbbing, and inexplicable emotions surged in his heart. He tried his best to smile at her, and said softly: "Silly girl, take care of yourself!"
Turning back, he looked at the Red Bei Cavalry in front of him who was less than a hundred meters away from him. Yu Qiuping understood that if a fight really broke out, he would no longer care about the life or death of others. He could only rely on his own riding skills and luck.
, with eyes on all directions and ears on all directions, in duels after duels, you have to dodge weapons that suddenly come from all directions, and give the most powerful attacks, so that you can survive. In this way, the hedging is repeated again and again, until one party loses. I'm afraid
Only then can Yu Qiuping - if he survives - have the opportunity to see who is still alive around him.
Fifty meters.
The two armies are getting closer and closer, and everyone's swords are unsheathed.
Thirty meters.
Some people had already started roaring and emboldening themselves, and the rapid and heavy sound of horse hooves was covered up by the roar.
Twenty meters.
Everyone gathered their strength and swung their weapons forward, and the conflict of life and death was close before their eyes.
Ten meters.
In front of everyone's eyes, only their destined opponent is left, and other scenery becomes blurred at the extremely high speed of the horse.
At that moment, Yu Qiuping could clearly see the open mouth of the red cavalryman rushing towards him, the bright red armor on his chest, the Takeda Hisibo flag fluttering in the wind behind him, and
The sharp katana in his hand reflects the setting sun.
In an instant, Yu Qiuping didn't see clearly the path of the red cavalryman's sword. He just turned around instinctively and slashed the Chidori in his hand towards the man. In the flash of lightning, Yu Qiuping was so scared that
Subconsciously, he closed his eyes. The darkness in the moment when he closed his eyes seemed to be as long as a lifetime. Whether he was alive or dead, whether he could open his eyes again or not, it all depends on God. Almost a moment later, Yu Qiuping just felt
His arm was so idle that it felt like it was dislocated - he missed the hit. And a gust of wind also passed by his cheek, accompanied by the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air.
Yu Qiuping opened his eyes, and the colorful world in front of him suddenly seemed so friendly - he was still alive. He didn't have time to think about how his knife was dodged, and how he avoided the knife just now, because the next row
The knight immediately ran towards him. Yu Qiuping simply did not slow down the horse's speed at that moment, but forcefully carried the horse over with his belly. This time he would not have a speed disadvantage.
As the swords clashed, Yu Qiuping was much braver this time than last time. He dared to face the oncoming enemy with his eyes open. As the swords clashed, Yu Qiuping swung again, but his opponent still failed to hit him.
However, this rush caused Yu Qiuping's riding trajectory to deviate slightly from the straight line. The red bei cavalry from the third and fourth rows just missed him. When the cavalry from the fifth row noticed that Yu Qiuping was charging towards him,
, obviously not prepared, and did not slash with the sword, but reined in the horse and missed the duel with Yu Qiuping. In a hurry, Yu Qiuping swung the sword to chop, but only hit the opponent's horse's butt.
The intense stickiness and the resistance transmitted from the tip of the knife through the huge lever torque almost made Yu Qiuping unable to hold the Chidori in his hand.
When Yu Qiuping finally rushed over alive, he slowed down for a long time before turning his horse's head, trying to catch his breath. The cavalrymen of Yu Qiuping's army also reined in their horses one after another, slowed down slowly, and faced Yu Qiuping again.
They formed a loose charging formation behind them.
Yu Qiuping looked around and found that Ryuko was still there, and so was Honda Tadakatsu.
Suddenly, there was an inexplicable sense of relief in my heart.
However, when he turned his attention to the battlefield where the two armies were clashing, the sight before him almost instantly broke his spirit.
The corpses of nearly 40 red leaf cavalrymen lay scattered on the battlefield, but not even 10 red leaf cavalrymen fell.
